    This old school brewery established in 1885 is half way along Sanmachi-dori Street, northwest of Takayama Castle. Their hallmark brand of sake is known as “Dashi. It’s made with techniques from the Edo period (1603-1867) and a Hida area brewing method known as gento kanjikomi. They also have their own sake brands like the refined Hanakobo with extracts of abelia and begonia that you can taste in their warehouse. The shop offers desserts made with local sake like cheesecake and soft serve ice cream too, and women also really enjoy their products.
